----!!This game contains examples of:

* AllThereInTheManual: There's a story?* AllYourPowersCombined: Three midbosses reappear and combine their attacks together in the Extra Stage.* AnimateInanimateObject: The first boss, the Idiot Box, is a flying square. The third boss is a group of flying ''cubes.''* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Fully in effect and quite intentional. The third stage midbosses' name is "Nategasa Kumanichi."* BonusBoss: Technically twenty of them planned for the 1.0 release.* BonusLevelOfHell: The Extra Stage.* BoringButPractical: The Gear Axis's homing attacks are weak, but they're the only homing missiles.* BulletHell* ContinuingIsPainful: Playing on the highest difficulty on a ship with a high charge penalty on death can affect your immediate scoring potiental by several orders of magnitude.* DifficultButAwesome: The 6D4's shot styles require a little bit of effort to use correctly.* EasierThanEasy: Zero. [[NintendoHard Maybe.]]* HarderThanHard: Lunacy Determined (the name being a pun on the creator's website Lunacy Indeterminate)* HoldTheLine: [[TouhouProject Like the series it copies from]], the game features "survival attacks" that you have to wait out.* InterfaceSpoiler: Of course the final boss has less attacks than the rest of the bosses! [[spoiler: [[TrueFinalBoss Oh wait.]]]]* MarathonBoss: Minor case- the final boss can take as much time as the first half of the game.* MirrorBoss: The fourth boss is a fleet of copies of the second player ship, the Solar Hydra. Some of their attacks were designed to mirror the shottypes available to the player.* NintendoHard: The game rewards you with extra lives in almost every level [[hottip:*: At my last count, you can have up to 15 lives ''at once.'' That's more than can fit on the screen and they'll actually collapse to fit more.]]. You will need them.* PinballScoring: Not the worst case, but it ramps up from tens of millions to hundreds of millions suddenly in the last two levels.* RankInflation: The score rank system in the game goes from 1 to 100. Rank 100 requires five hundred million points.* RecurringBoss: Almost every midboss (and some bosses) reappears. One reappears ''twice.''* SequentialBoss: The fifth and the sixth bosses immediately follow their stages' midbosses.* StationaryBoss: Fifth boss the Ancient Guardian doesn't move at all. This is traded with you moving everywhere.* SuperMode: Overdrive mode pumps your power through the roof and makes everything worth tens of thousands of points. Also, you can't bomb, and the more Charge you have stacked up- the longer the mode lasts and the more everything is worth.
